Oliver's answer above (https://stackoverflow.com/a/31727213/2423194) gave me a crash, and its message told me to use MenuItemCompat instead. After some tweaking to this code, it works:

// Keep the popup menu open              
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
item.setActionView(new View(getContext()));
MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(item, new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
        return false;
    }
});

Thanks Oliver!
